Wed 4/27/2022

Good morning Angels, It was good to see our leader riding again. He told us H had a short in his neck area. 

So he picked a short ride for his first ride. There were 5 riders ready to go. Duane leads with Dennis on the tail. We went on the back roads to user hwy. To the 87 to Denny's in Fountain Hills, where we all enjoyed our breakfast. Then Duane took us on west to J & P cycle. That was new in the area. I don't know the street name but it was close to the 101 North.  After our visit, We split into 2 small groups. Duane and Dennis #2 went back. That left Dennis Mc. Mr. Max, and me to take a longer ride. Dennis leads us back to the 87 on Northeast to high-way 188. We stop at Jakes corner for a short break, then on to Tonto basin for fuel. After a brief rest and some water, we decided to stop at the Sheriff's station restaurant & Bar for a cold soda. There weren't many boats on the lake. After our drink and pit stop, we went on to Globe and us 60. We were doing fine until we came upon construction at the bridge where they were down to one lane. Which meant a 15 min. wait in the hot sun, We then had a clear ride home. We had traveled a total mileage of 249 miles, which got us home at 2:30 pm' 

Saturday 4/30/2022 will be determined by who is riding. I have an airport run at 9:45 am. So I hope someone will text or email me about the ride. The same go for Wed 5/4/2022.

Hello Angels, I had a surprise after my airport run. I got back a little before 9 am, there were 3 riders waiting for me. It was not the same 3 that has been riding. There was Mr. Jay, Dan Leeper, and Dennis #2. When I got back to the station we decided on a short ride.  Jay hadn't ridden for about 3 months. We then headed East on the 60 with Jay leading and Yours truly on the tail. We were heading for Coolidge and Tags restaurant. We all had a good breakfast. With Mr. Jay leading We went to Coolidge rd turn left to Attaway on to Hunt Hyway West. to Ironwood and home. it was only noon and 77.1 miles when I turn into my driveway.

It was a wonderful day for a ride. Mr. Max picked the sunny side up in Catalina. We took a long way to get there. First, we head to Baseline and to Ironwood South East then south then East and around to Felix rd. Then attway to our street. where two-wheelers have to put one foot down at the stop sign in Coolidge. Then to AZ ave, somewhere we turned left West to I-10 and over. By that time I was getting to a pit stop. Then to Farm Ranch rd. East to the 79 right to the 77. on to The Sunny Side Up, good Lunch/breakfast. Then on home by way of Winkelman. There we took on fuel and a nice rest. On to Superior no stop (it was getting hot) and home about 2:10 pm with 216.3 miles on my bike.

Wed 4/13/ 2022

The same 4 riders met at the Chevron for a great ride. We headed East on the 60 to the 79 and on to Castus rd West . We then went to the frontage road next to the I-10. To the Petro for breakfast/ lunch. I had biscuits and gravy. So if we go there again, don't order biscuits and gravy. ( it was horrible ). The others had lunch and I didn't hear any complaints. Dan Knorr and I bought a new road atlas, then with Dennis leading, we headed to Eloy and watched some sky diving. be for we left we walked over to the other landing where they were mowing the landing. So then we watch some military divers and three out of the six missed their landing target. then we headed home by the back roads and saw a few workers working in the fields where all the solars panels are. We got home around 2 PM with about 143 miles .I can't ride Saturday because I will be helping more folks get home for the summer. You all have a great and safe summer, God willing I'll see you soon.
